#1: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Hereford, Location: Mancheter AreaPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 5:56 am ---- Hi all,
Shs's now ready for the big reveal. What do you think?
She's now undetectable via radar!
#2: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:28 am ---- It's different, but those headlights are f*****g annoying. Even in the first pic they seem to be affecting the photo from an angle, so what are they going to do to oncoming drivers.
Could do with a black fuel cap and masked headlights and fog lights just to finish the stealth look..
#3: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Bassline_Toad, Location: Chester, UKPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:28 am ---- Very nice!
I wouldn't have thought I'd like it in matte black, but that's lovely
#4: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Danw_VVT, Location: Herts/LondonPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:32 am ---- Masked headlight front and rear fogs then perfect
#5: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Mkajuma, Location: KenyaPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:32 am ---- Breathtaking
#6: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: puggy206, Location: scunthorpePosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:32 am ---- That looks stunning!!!
#7: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Ape, Location: Clipping the Apex!Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:33 am ---- Nice work
Fly-eye or whatever its called on the front lights perhaps? will help them blend in. Smoked repeaters and matt black fuel cap would finish it off.
Oh, and it's not a black pearl anymore it's not shiny. How about... Black Coal?
I like it though, a couple of friends have done their track cars matt black. Looks mean!
#8: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: robdob, Location: oxfordPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 6:40 am ---- LUSH!!
#9: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Ash, Location: Running from Ant and Lee and Adam...........Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 7:07 am ---- Get a black LED Fog light, do all the stuff above, paint the keyhole
But looks amazing mate.
#10: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 7:18 am ---- I actually really like it, not keen on the details like lights and grille and boot strip and fuel cap but with a few changes could be really nice!
#11: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 7:39 am ---- *edit* *sigh*
It that going to be a track car
#12: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:12 am ---- Looking very nice. Smoke the side repeaters though and do what others have said. Fly-eye on the front lights too
#13: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: martinius88, Location: Rushden, NorthantsPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:19 am ---- very nice!! The same as what others said, fuel cap blaa blaaa etc...
#14: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:27 am ---- Looks Very Cool
I like it
#15: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: craigy00craig, Location: surreyPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 11:38 am ---- Looks cool. was it wrapped or painted?
#16: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: pug150, Location: birminghamPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 11:42 am ---- Is that paint or a wrap? Does look good but would look better if the spotlights the rear foglight and real lights where done black aswell also masked headlights. Then in would be well stealthy
#17: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 12:17 pm ---- Looking good mate, but i will echo peoples comments about masking the lights...
#18: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Hereford, Location: Mancheter AreaPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 2:36 pm ---- Thanks for all your comments.
Yeah, I intend to buy a sheet of that fly-mesh stuff, looks good when on.
I'm going to smoke the side repeaters and spray the petrol cap too!
I wouldn't mind doing the headlights in Matt black, but, I'm that heavy handed "I know" I'll no doubt damage them!
Any help would be much appreciated as they would finish it off nicely!
LED rear fog or Smoked?
Think that just covers it...!
Oh, the cars sprayed.
My best mate owns a professional wrapping service. He's done Bentley's, X6's, Porsches and top end cars.
The finish is spot on. I've asked him to wrap my roof in a Matt graphite grey brushed steel effect, along with the door posts and wing mirrors.. What do you think?
Alloys were done Saturday, my mate comes to you, NORTHWEST ONLY, and does them any colour and even while they are on your car. £110. At your home/work/gym etc. takes about 2hrs
#19: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Rob2859, Location: HalifaxPosted: Mon Nov 28, 2011 4:43 pm ---- Fly eye is very easy to use and you get a better finish than tinting them imo. Also how cheap would he do a roof?
My mate used to have an astra van in matt black that was pretty good. Last edited by Rob2859 on Mon Nov 28, 2011 5:00 pm; edited 1 time in total

Think they look better in the flesh, if you are going to any shows next year will be looking forward to seeing it

That all depends on colour etc. Probably around £80-100
#22: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: 20619d, Location: barnstaplePosted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:28 pm ---- i like it i wnted do to mine but loads on here sed will look crap when clearly don't
#23: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Howey, Location: Kings LynnPosted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 1:31 pm ---- How do you clean it?
Hose off, then I use one of these special fibre cloth type things in hot water.
Comes up spotless, looks weird at first as it drys funny, grey and black patches.
But once aired for 15mins it blends and the finish is great
#25: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 4:03 pm ---- not normally fan of that type of paint...... but this one dont look too bad in the pics,

#27: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Hereford, Location: Mancheter AreaPosted: Wed Nov 30, 2011 4:01 am ---- Cheers ExoVyper,
I was hoping that someone would pick up on that eventually.
I'll give it a go.
Fingers crossed, they'll be nice to me!
#28: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Lowercase, Location: East SussexPosted: Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:03 am ---- needs a ph2 boot strip
#29: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: matt.handley, Location: kentPosted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 1:41 am ---- car is looking great mate, would get rid of the rest of the silver though
#30: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Hereford, Location: Mancheter AreaPosted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 3:28 am ---- Fully noted, cheers, that's the plan.
Yep, got one, I need to cut in where the original is... the rear badge "removed" will show the previous paint.
OR will it just go on regardless and not be able to see it?
#31: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 6:57 am ---- i think you'll be able to see the original paint underneath if you swap it over as it's just flat with no raised part
#32: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Hereford, Location: Mancheter AreaPosted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:09 am ---- Yeah I thought so, I'll whip it off after Xmas and spray in the full boot and do a proper job,
#33: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 9:24 am ---- cool. and while your there why not paint the insides of your crystals instead of trying to swap for some
honestly it was easy as when i did them. took less than nine hours for both and that was actually doing work at the same time and taking the photos lol
#34: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Hereford, Location: Mancheter AreaPosted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 4:06 pm ---- I like to make life simple! Saves getting stressed with the high possibility of breaking them.
Plus, to be fair, I ain't got 9mins spare these days let alone 9hrs.
#35: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: ExoVyper, Location: Waiting for the tugboats to push me into port (Whitehaven)Posted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 5:18 pm ---- its a shame im not closer of have the time otherwise i'd have done them for you
#36: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Ali_H, Location: Chichester, SussexPosted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 6:05 pm ---- Those headlights and the colour are a bad combination. Someone will smash into it because a) they don't see it or b) are blinded by your w**ky, badly aligned HIDs.
#37: Re: Hereford's "Black Pearl" revealed Author: Razpulsedj, Location: Partying with the Info ShufflersPosted: Thu Dec 01, 2011 11:58 pm ---- Aha finally revealed her matey, stunning in the metal or should i say matte lol

Cheers mate, very kind to offer. I'll no doubt get them sorted at some point.
Hey, cheers Raz, it's getting there little by little!
Ali_H, the only way they would be "smashing" into me is by
(A) They are a drunk driver
(B) They can't drive!
I dont think it will have anything to do with my car being a bad combination..But everyone's entitled to their own opinion..!
